Contributed Papers (proceedings)

Due to new rules of the elsevier editor, the proceedings will be managed directly by elsevier, this makes easier the management of the contact with the journal.

Publication of papers on the proceedings is subject to a judgement by referees. A referee system is organized internal to the conference.

Proceedings will be printed as a special volume of "Nuclear Instruments and Methods" (NIMA), therefore the format of contributed papers follows the requirements of that journal.

Guidelines to Authors

Maximum 6 pages for the oral/invited presentations.

Maximum 4 pages for contributed poster presentations.

Figures must be prepared to be clear, either when printed in black&white on paper, or in the on-line version where figures are published in colour.

The electronic source files (.doc, tex, jpg, tiff, etc.) + a pdf file of all individual accepted papers are needed; please use a separate folder for each paper and give the folders logical names, so that we can easily match the folders with the contents listing!

Guidelines for Oral Presentations (slides)
